The Advanced Well Integrity Management training course is a comprehensive 5-day program designed to equip participants with in-depth knowledge of well integrity fault analysis and risk assessment. Attendees will have valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and refine their understanding of well integrity management concepts. This advanced course will delve into effective decision-making approaches to ensure organizational certainty.

The ability to make critical decisions throughout the entire well life cycle is crucial, not only for well integrity management purposes but also for maximizing economic value. The training course will specifically focus on well integrity management systems and their interactions with other teams within the organization. Topics covered include the definition of integrity barriers, the Well Failure model, and establishing an efficient well integrity organization. Participants will gain valuable insights into these areas, enabling them to make informed decisions and effectively manage well integrity throughout its life cycle.

Course Objectives:

This training course on Advanced Well Integrity Management aims to:

Improve the delegates’ appreciation of the well design and annulus construction; i.e. the well as a “pressure vessel”
Provide knowledge & understanding of the guidelines and standards that when observed and implemented effectively will ensure well integrity
Establish an increased awareness of well integrity issues and how they are controlled/managed and by whom
Provide knowledge of how to maintain equipment for safe and effective operation

Who Should Attend?

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

Affiliate Technical Directors
Asset Manager
